"This is a mission from the Venerable!"
When Dai Yunxi walked out, she felt a sacred sense of mission that made her legs tremble in excitement. Actually, it was the same for all devout believers. It didn't matter what mission the Venerable gave them, as long as the order came from the Venerable, it was a supreme glory!
Ordering him to charge and break through enemy lines was the same. Even if it was just ordering him to bring them some toilet paper, they would still be extremely excited. Of course, people like Bao Weng who served by Ye Xiaotian's side every day would not be affected by this sacred aura.
For example, the batch of raw Miao warriors that Ye Xiaotian had swapped with now. When they first followed Ye Xiaotian, every time they saw him, they would immediately become excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They could not wait to crawl at his feet and kiss his boots. Now, they were much calmer.
Since it was a mission given by the Venerable One, especially since it was so important to the Venerable One, Dai Yunxi of course gave 120% of her attention and swore to complete it beautifully.
She was weak, and the only thing she was good at was "Gu". But this Gu could not kill people from thousands of miles away like the legendary flying sword. She had to get in touch with Cao Ruixi and Zhan Boxiong to have a chance. But Cao Ruixi was in his room and refused to see any strangers. How could she see him?
Dai Yunxi was good at using Gu, but not at scheming. But she knew how to ask for help. After she found out that the number one think tank around the Venerable One was Li Qiuchi, Li Dazhuang, she sincerely asked Li Dazhuang for advice.
"Mr. Li, the Venerable One ordered me to assassinate Cao Ruixi or Zhan Boxiong. I'm only good at using venomous insects, not tricks. If I can't get close to them, then my venomous insects will be useless. You're a scholar, can you help me think of a way?"
Li Qiuchi thought for a while and asked, "Which one of them are you going to kill, or do you want to kill them all at once? What are you going to do? "
Dai Yunxi said, "Your servant has thought about it. Let's kill them all at once. If we fail, it'll be difficult to do it again. I'm afraid we'll fail the Venerable Venerable's trust. This servant wants to have some confidence in dealing with Cao Ruixi. "
Lawyer Li put his hands behind his back and regained some of the imposing manner he had in the past. "What's the reason?"
Dai Yunxi said, "The reason is that I can't come into contact with them, so I can only do it through food. Zhan Boxiong was currently a guest at the Cao Family. Perhaps the Cao Family wouldn't mistreat him, but when the Cao Family's chefs went to buy food, they might not cater to his tastes like they catered to his master. Therefore, it will be easier for this servant to grasp Cao Ruixi's taste. "
"I see!"
Li Dazhuang, who liked to teach others, gently waved his feather fan and pretended to be floating in the air. "That's easy. Come closer, I'll give you three strategies!"
Dai Yunxi was stunned. She was a young woman in her twenties. How could she be so close to a man?
Lawyer Li suddenly realized that he had overacted. He hurriedly laughed twice and said, "There are no outsiders here. You don't need to come closer. Listen carefully. I'll teach you three strategies to ensure that you achieve your goal. As for whether you can succeed or not, it will depend on your skills. "
Dai Yunxi respectfully said, "Please advise me, Sir Li!"
Lawyer Li waved his fan and talked non-stop to her. Dai Yunxi listened attentively. After she returned, she acted according to Li Qiuchi's instructions.
First, she sent people to set up stalls outside the Cao Family's residence to sell vegetables and meat. As the wife of a tribe leader, Dai Yunxi had a lot of people at her disposal. The people she sent out were all men from the mountains. They didn't even need to change their clothes. When they picked up the vegetable basket, they were vegetable farmers. When they picked up the knife, they were butchers. No matter how good one's eyesight was, they wouldn't be able to see any flaws.
Later, she sent people to investigate which restaurant Cao Ruixi had attended or held banquets in after he came to Guiyang City. There weren't many high-class restaurants like this, so it wasn't difficult to find out.
Next, Dai Yunxi sent people to change into rich people's clothes and visit these restaurants one by one. When these mountain men changed into rich people's clothes, they would only look like nouveau riche. However, according to Lawyer Li's plan, they didn't need to worry about being seen through because these people were pretending to be nouveau riche.
They claimed that their hometown was under the jurisdiction of Chieftain Cao and that their family owned several mountains. However, they were all barren mountains and didn't have much money. However, a few days ago, the 'earth dragon flipped over' and a crack appeared in the mountain. They actually discovered a vein of alum.
Thus, these lucky people became rich. However, although the land was their family's, they also belonged to Cao Ruixi, Great Master Cao. Thus, they couldn't wait to come to Guiyang and ask for Great Master Cao's permission to open a mine.
In order to get Great Master Cao's permission, they wanted to invite Cao Ruixi to a banquet. In order to please Cao Ruixi, they wanted to cater to his preferences. Thus, they hurried to the restaurant where Cao Ruixi had hosted the banquet and asked about Lord Cao's preferences in food.
A successful businessman would be very serious in everything they did. Their efforts were not only on the topic, but also on the topic. The restaurants that Cao Ruixi had hosted banquets in were all successful restaurants in Guiyang. These shopkeepers were naturally very attentive people.
If a customer booked a restaurant to invite a guest, then this guest must be very wealthy. In order to make this rich person feel satisfied and come back to their restaurant again, the shopkeepers not only had to serve them attentively, but they also had to carefully observe their preferences.
The shopkeepers would carefully record which dishes they liked and which dishes they didn't, creating a secret file. Now that someone was asking them for advice, under normal circumstances, they naturally wouldn't say anything.
However, the people who had come to ask them for advice were not competitors. These nouveau riche were also their customers. If they wanted to invite an esteemed guest to their restaurant, the shopkeepers would naturally receive them warmly and tell them everything.
Soon, Dai Yunxi had all the information on Cao Ruixi's preferences. After mastering this information, Dai Yunxi carefully studied it. Some unsuitable dishes had to be left out.
For example, Cao Ruixi's favorite dish had a golden needle chicken soup, which couldn't be used. The power of voodoo was very great, but voodoo didn't have the ability to swim in boiling water. Whether it was poisoning the enoki mushroom or the old hen, it couldn't pass the stewing stage.
In the end, Dai Yunxi chose "fish slices!" Fish slices were sashimi. The voodoo was placed on a live fish, and the fish slices were eaten by people. This could ensure that the voodoo was alive in the process.
The fish usually used to make fish slices was carp, and there were also mackerel, herring, bass, and so on. Carp was a popular dish, and the person who ate it might not be Cao Ruixi. Bass was much more expensive in the local area, so Dai Yunxi instructed a vegetable vendor to sell bass.
This idea was not thought of by Li Dazhuang. Li Dazhuang could just give her some pointers. How could he think so carefully? However, since Dai Yunxi could think of asking a smart person for help to do what a smart person should do, how stupid could she be? Naturally, she could think of this idea.
In order to ensure that the Cao family would definitely buy fish from their stall, Dai Yunxi also ordered people to buy the fish from all the fishmongers around the Cao family, as well as most of the meat and vegetables that the Cao family often bought.
These vegetable vendors, meat vendors, and fishmongers arranged by Dai Yunxi had been doing business around the Cao family for several days. The vegetables they sold were fresh and cheaper than others. The chef of the Cao family had long become their regular customers.
On this day, the chef of the Cao family walked out of the back door with a smile on his face and two assistant chefs. He came to the front of the stalls and saw that there were not many ingredients to choose from. The chef could not help but frown.
When he swaggered to the fishmonger arranged by Dai Yunxi, he saw a bucket of fat and fresh bass. He couldn't help but brighten his eyes. There were too few dishes today. The master was in a bad mood these days. If the dishes were not good, the master would definitely blame him. It was rare to sell bass here, and the fish looked good. The master liked to eat raw fish, so it was better to buy a bass.
"That's it. Pick the fattest one and weigh it!" The fat chef stretched out his fat finger and pointed to the bucket.
…
The fish slices that the fat chef made for Cao Ruixi were called "Golden and Jade Slices". This was the most famous dish among the dozens of fish slices from ancient times to the present. It needed to be dipped in "Eight and Eight Fish". "Eight and Eight Fish" was a kind of dipping sauce made of eight kinds of ingredients: garlic, ginger, orange, white plum, cooked millet yellow, rice, salt, and sauce.
Cao Ruixi liked to eat raw fish. In the past few days, he was depressed and ate very little. Today, he tasted delicious food and ate all the fish. Cao Ruixi was happy and rewarded the chef.
The next afternoon, the fat chef ran to the back door with a smile. "The bass you sell here is not bad. It's fat and fresh. I bought it yesterday and made some fish slices. Our master ate it very happily.
Pay attention, prepare a big bass for me every other day. If you don't have it, go elsewhere. I won't treat you badly in terms of price. You should prepare it tomorrow, don't forget! "
When the news reached Dai Yunxi, she was very happy. She simply disguised herself as the fishmonger's wife and ran outside the Cao Residence. She waited to hear the good news of Cao Ruixi's sudden death so that she could report to the old Venerable as soon as possible.
However, the next afternoon, the fat chef came with a smile. Dai Yunxi saw it and her heart suddenly became cold. She encountered the thing that she was most worried about. She met someone who had taken the insect repellent medicine.
The insect repellent medicine was actually the insect repellent soup of the Gu God Sect. Before the Gu God Sect retreated deep into the mountains, they were very close to the tribe leaders of the outside world. At that time, there were also many unorthodox Gu Masters who had not joined the Gu God Sect.
As a result, in order to ensure the safety of these nobles who maintained close relations with the Gu God Sect, the Gu God Sect spread this prescription. The reason why they spread the prescription and not the medicine was because the medicine needed to make the medicine contained too many expensive medicinal ingredients. Some medicinal ingredients could only be found by chance.
The Gu God Sect could not collect so many medicinal ingredients, so they simply gave the prescription to you. You could spend ten or even dozens of years to collect them. At that time, the Gu God Sect was not as conservative as it was now. They were not as lacking in confidence, so they did not use this prescription as a means to control the tribes.
After thousands of years, this prescription was regarded as a treasure by the tribe leaders who inherited it. However, because the corresponding medicinal ingredients were very difficult to find, some families often did not have the prescription even if they had it. Sometimes, only one person in two or three generations would be lucky enough to take it.
And for a rich and powerful family like the An Family, other than Old Master An, a few important people in the direct line of descent had probably taken it.
The insect that Dai Yunxi used, once it was taken, would be active for at most a day. Now that the chef was smiling and in such a good mood, it was obvious that Cao Ruixi was not dead. There was only one possibility that Cao Ruixi was not dead: he had taken the insect repellent medicine.
"What should we do?"
A few subordinates looked at Dai Yunxi worriedly. Dai Yunxi lowered her head and thought for a long time. She slowly raised her head, a cold smile on her delicate face. "Do you think that you can escape from the Gu God Sect's means by taking the insect repellent medicine? The Gu God Sect wants you dead at midnight, who dares to stay until midnight! Today, I will let you see my means! "
On the evening of the third day, the fat chef came. He was all smiles. "Our master … is dead!"
The fat chef's tears flowed down, but he was still smiling. This bastard, he was born with a smiling face!
